POWERS AND ABILITIES
All of Wraiths abilities come from his connection to the Demiplane of Shadow, a magical realm outside of normal space and time.
Normal (Human) Form:
Enhanced Strength: Can lift 500Lbs over his head easily, 800 if he pushes
Enhanced Agility: 3X the human normal agility and reflexes
Darksight: See's in darkness as well as a normal man can see in daylight
Life Support: Does not need to eat, sleep, or excrete waste. Immune to disease, poisons and resistant to heat and cold.
Immortality: Kyle will stop aging at 25, and will not die due to aging. Unless killed by outside influence he could conceivably live until the sun goes nova.
Mental Defenses: Kyle has a field about him that resonates to telepaths as a "Madness Field" It causes them extreme discomfort and pain. Only very strong telepaths can break through it. He has no control over this ability. It's always on, even if it would be advantageous for him to have it off.
Hero Form:
Armored skin: In his hero form Wraith is encased in organic black armor. It acts like skin almost, as he can get tactile response from it, but it also is bullet resistant (up to large caliber weapons), heat and cold resistant and offers protection from energy based attacks.
Enhanced Strength: Wraith can lift weights up to lift over 3 tons
Enhanced Agility: Wraith has over ten times normal human quickness and agility, allowing him to dodge projectiles and strike both accurately and quickly
Darkbolts: Wraith can fire concussive bolts of darkness from his hands that strike hard enough to crumple steel.
Webbing: Wraith can also fire a organic webbing, encasing opponents in a glue-like mass, entangling them and stopping them from moving or taking most actions. The webbing can be torn apart with sufficient strength or tools. Also, very bright lights will burn it off. It dissolves into shadows at dawn
Claws:Wraith can form his fingers into knife-like claws, capable of cutting steel.
Darkness Field: He can create a field of utter darkness ranging in size from ten meters to one hundred meters in diameter. No light or vision can penetrate this darkness (sonar or extrasensory abilities have no problem) Wraith is immune to this effect and can see normally, but must concentrate to keep it up.
Shadowform: In darkness or shadows he can assume a incorporeal shadowform able to pass through solid objects. Energy fields stop this ability, and bright lights throw him out of shadowform
Shadowstep: He can teleport from shadow to shadow as long as he knows where he is going and the distance is no longer than a league (3 miles)
Dimensional Teleport: Wraith can teleport long distances by shifting himself and up to 7000 pounds of matter to Shadow, then going back to where he wants to go. This ability can cross planar boundaries, and can work to take Wraith to places he does not know. The latter can cause unpredictable results though
Background:
Born in San Antonio, Kyle moved out to Los Angeles at the age of five with his family. His father was a cop, his mother a teacher. They lived a happy normal life until one night when he was twelve. Nobody ever discovered what started the fire that killed his family, and nobody learned how he lived through it without a scratch. That was the night his life changed.
Kyle bounced from foster hom to foster home after that. Life, while hard and sometimes sad, was not bad. He grew interested in photography, and continued to work on that through high school. On his 18th birthday though, everything changed.
On a moonless night Kyle was ripped from our world and taken to a land between Heaven and Hell. A land with no sun, no moon, and no stars. Shadow.
There he went through ten years of training and combat. He learned he was the Scion of Shadow, it's champion on Earth. He learned that his bloodline had been that powers recipient for generations. He learned that Heaven and Hell had it's Scions on earth too, and that there was a eternal war among the outlands, and that he was known as The Warlord in that war.
He learned of power, but he longed to go home.
After ten years he was allowed to return to Earth. From time to time he would be required to return, but Shadow could wait. He was immortal after all. Time had little meaning to beings that measure it in millennium.
Upon returning to L.A. Kyle learned that while ten years had passed in Shadow, only a year had passed on Earth. HE was 19, and adult and could pick his own destiny. He contacted the authorities and collected his inheritance, which left him enough to get a good photography kit and a car, a black Dodge Magnum and began doing what he liked, which was taking pictures.
He also started patrolling the streets at night, helping people when he could, taking down the criminals and thugs that walked the night. Eventually the papers out west started calling him The Wraith.
This went on for a year. The criminal element grew to fear the night in L.A., and he sold some pictures to a few newspapers, and got one into Time magazine. He had no home, no real friends, but he was content.
A few weeks after his 20th birthday he packed up his gear, terminated his lease on his rental, and headed out. Kyle decided that a change was needed, and he started driving to Metropolis. With any luck he would land a photography job there. On the way he worked on his portfolio, and whenever he could, righted the wrongs he encountered on his way.
(OK, that was shoddy, stuttery, and not very in depth, but I gotta get and I need to get something up! I do have a first post in my head, and if the P.O. leaves me any brain cells after I get home I should have it up tonight.)
...goddammit.
Even his car is sexy.
And Jill...
"Gotham" is a nickname for New York that predates Batman; but just because it's named after a place doesn't necessarily mean it's got to be located there. Gotham is Chicago's neighbour in The LDoKverse, after all, at least according to "World's Finest" and "Legion."
Anyway, I'll shut up now, I don't think I've got time to hop on board with this, bad form to clog up your OOC if I'm not in the IC, too.
Good luck, you guys.
